–The Rev. Canon Dr. Richard LeSueur, former Acting Dean, St. George’s College, Jerusalem

“Through a series of meditations on unexpected perspectives and deeply human responses to the events of Jesus’ life and times, the reader is invited into a renewed and challenging encounter with Jesus and the early community we now call Christian.”
–The Rev. Canon Dr. Harold Munn, Diocese of New Westminster, Anglican Church of Canada

–The Rev. Dr. Deborah M. Jackson, The School of Theology at the University of the South
